Feeding rabbits to my dog...

[Graham Nicholson 0]

Tapeworms die once frozen at temperatures below 150d-f even after 12 hours at this temp, check that you freezer operates such temps

My dogs eat droppings when they are out mooching so no matter how I feed, worms are always an issue. I currently deworm them every 6 weeks but within a couple of days of that I'm already thinking 'they'll need worming soon'.

 

I haven't noticed any worms or cysts in their stools since puppyhood although that doesn't mean they have'nt had them or aren't about to be infested.

Cheers Graham, I've saved that for reading when I'm not on holiday, sitting on my ass and wanting to do nothing. LOL

my dogs never seem to have worms but i worm every 3 month regardless. i like to feed fresh raw and only freeze when theres room in the freezer!lol

just read the prevention part as that is all this topic is about

umm id say tyhat frezzing a rabbit aslong as it is 100% frfozen when you are going to de-frost it;. it should be alright. as my dog eats them like that i wormn him every 1 1/2 mounths and he never has them, but same thing with ferrets. ill give them the frozen ones and thay dont have worms...

ferrets don't get worms anyway full stop.(something to do with the digestive tract being too short) why do you worm your dog every 6 wk if you feel that freezing rabbit does kill worms?

 

cus i hunt with alot of scummie dogs. but alos because it's better to be safe than sorry. especaly with hert worms. oh any because the pills he gets are like in the time frame. needing 1 and 1/2 mounths untill another is need....

hi victor im sure your vet is incorrect as you should never boil or cook bones as they become brittle and fragile and when eaten get stuck in the intestine and cant be digested i would personally freeze then feed raw

[olliedakennard 0]

pretty much the same as me for worming and flea'ing. i feed whatever raw is available,rabbit,venison or hare.i also buy in frozen tripe,chicken and beef mince.

i feed rabbit regulary to the dogs, i freeze whole for a few weeks ,then when needed i chop em in half with an axe and defrost in a bucket,

iv been doing this for years and my dogs have no more worms than any others
